Description
Summary:
This paper focuses on the principal's role in developing an improved or humane school environment for learning. It explores the thesis that the principal can be an effective and dynamic climate leader for change, but that he works within a participative process that involves all those who are part of the school environment and some who are not. The authors examine determinants of school climate, the principal's role in creating and maintaining a more positive environment, implementation strategies for a principal to begin improving his own skills toward fulfilling such a leadership role, and techniques for assessing the effectiveness of the approach.
